Flirting With Forty (2008 TV Movie/Sony DVD)

 

Picture: C+     Sound: B-     Extras: D     Telefilm: C

 

 

Heather Locklear still looks sexier than most women her age, which automatically means she can go after men nearly half her age in the silly TV movie Flirting With Forty, which still wants to be family-lever comedy (including holiday music in the beginning) as she needs to get her own kind of “groove” back.  Too bad it did not come with a good script.

 

A divorcee with children, she goes on a trip to Hawaii and wherever there is sun and you have to spend much money to travel, there is always love and sex to be had.  At least it is not outright sleazy and yes, Locklear does look good.  Guess she must be sharing advice with Joan Collins and Kim Basinger.  We have seen worse and this is harmless for the most part, but it is also predictable and boring, so see it at your own risk.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image was shot in HD, but it has less motion blur and better color than expected, while the Dolby Digital 5.1 mix actually has a good soundfield for a TV production and dialogue is nicely recorded.  There are no extras.
